THE VERMONT ELECTIONS, SPECIAL. APVERTISEWEWTg. IN A SCRAPE. WARP BOSSES. THE SITUATION.

A HORIUBLB CIUSE IN MISSOURI. Two Children Brutally murdered bj Vuhnown Parlies. St. Joseph, Septomber 1 A special to tho Gazette from Union Star, tells of a foarf nl critno committod in the vicinity of Flag Springs, Andrew County, on Sunday. Two little girls, children of John MrGathlln, aged 7 and 0 years, respectively, wero overtaken in the woods by unknown parties and outraged.

Tho villains then disemboweled TUE3D.VY EVENING. SEPfEMBER 2, 1884 TANGLED. TJio Iliglits of the Kings County Elevated Railway. RAVAGES OF THE PLAGUE, A Itcpbrted Cao lu London Mortal Uy In Naples and Oilier Cities London, September 2. A doctor certified at the official inquiry that a boiler maker at Mill vail, in London, had died of Asiatic cholera.

The sanitary officer who visited the man denied that he died of Aalatio cholera, but ordered that the coffin be tarred and the house disinfected. Madrid, September 2. Tbo Governor of Madrid has ordered the municipal authorities aud directors of hospitals throughout the country to prepare special cholera wards, in case they should become necessary. Cholera has undoubtedly appeared in the city and province of Alicante. It waB brought there by a family from Cette, France, which reached Alicante by way of Algiers, The week's quarantine to which it was subjected proves to have boon an insufficient safeguard, Another case in addition to those already reported baa occurred in tho City ot Alicante, while at Novelda, a town on the railway a few miles west, sixteen persons have been attacked with tho disease, and five of thorn have died.

A military cordon has been promptly estabJisht about the town. At Eida two suspected cases of cbo'era havo appeared and two likewise at Monovar. All tbo other provinces of Spain will maintain a quarantine of ton days against All canto. 2fch alarm prevails at Madrid. A railway train arrived yesterday bringing a hundred passengers from Alicante.

Thoso aro now quarantined at a villago near tho capital. Naples, Seplembsr 2. There was a sudden and remarkable increase in tbo number of cholera cases in this city yesterday. A total MRS. CANTILLOti'S CONDITION SERIOUS.

Doubtful II She Will Survive Her Inla rlev Her Aiwailannt Held for Examination. Mrs. Margaret Cantillon, who was so brutally stabbed at her residence, No. 173 Greenpoint avenue, on Sunday evening by an insane woman named Anna Herman, of Hew York, who formerly resided in the came house, was last night reported to be very low. She had been unconscious all of Sunday night aud yesterday morning and.

a few times during the day hardly epoko abovo a whisper. It Is doubtful whether she will recover. When her assailant emerged from the cell yesterday morning, preparatory to being taken to court with her husband, who had also been arreBtcd for attempting to aid hlB wife to cscapo, she appeared perfectly rational and wb not Bware of tho enormity of the offence with which sho was charged. Justico Nacbcr held them both 'to await tho result of the woman's Injuries. It baa now transpired tbat the injured woman incurred the enmity of Mrs.

Herman from tho fact that she thought she (Mrs. Cantillon) was concerned in having her dispossessed from the bouso laBt May. Miss Nora Cantillon denies this Bud says that they knew but little of tbo Hermans whilo they resided there, and that she or her mother had rarely spoken to either of them. It is also said that Mre. Herman was of a jealous disposition and thought her husband was false to her.

The majority of tho people residing in the neighborhood are inclined to believo that tho woman was crazy on the evening that she committed the deed and was not responsible for her crime. Christian Herman, tho husband of the woman, appears to bo a man of oducation and refinement and would not bo looked upon aB one who would loud himself to commit an offense of so serious a nature. Its Officers Differ "Widely from the City Authorities as to the Proper Mode of Procedure Adverse Opinions from LawyersAn Interesting Stay Law. Late yesterday afternoon General Serrell, the engineer under whom tha work of constructing tho Kings County Elevated Railway was to bave procesdo), 'Waited upon Commissioner of City Works Fleeuiau aud mado a second application for a permit to continue tho Work upou Fnltou street, wliich xjib stopped ycaturday Bioniiog. The Commissioner, during niot of tbc con Tereatiou, was nudcr the impression that Gi ueral Serrell represented tho Kings County Elevated Railway.

He refused a second time, to Use permit, on the ground that thero was no eri deaco to show that tha status of tho ooiiipawjr Vba complete that no evidence had been produced flowing that the railway company had tbo required consent of tho property owners along ita lines. Tho way to show such consent, he said, was by means of application to tho Mayor and Commissioner of City Works, under Chapter 518 of tho Laws of 1831. If anch. application was mado the Mayor and Conimis rioner could go to work to verify the consent General Berrell took the ground that tho company having obtained, with tho franchise, tho couseut of tbo Mayor required consent of tho property ownors, they had therefore a right to proceed with construction. Genoral Serrell was asked whether or no ho represented the Kings County Elovated Railway.

Ho replied that he did not, he represented tho contractors tho Phenix Bridge Company. The Commissioner seemed surprised. Eo said In refusing that he was acting upon tho advice of the Corporation Counsel. 11 It la nay opinion, and that also of many good lawyers," eald a well known barrister who would uot allow his name to be quoted yesterday, that the charier of the Kings County Elevated Railway has lapsed iKcanse tho company has not complied with the requirements of the law within tho time given it for such action. The company was organized under the Gonoral Railroad act about five years ago.

Commissioners laid out its routes and the Common Council gave its consent to the building. Tho property owners fought tbo road tut were beaten In tbo Supremo Court whoro Judge Gll Iwrt sat at the time. The General Term sustained the lower court, but when the property owners carried the natter to the Court of Appeals the decision of tho Gen eral Term was reversed on a lecunicaiuy, mo court ue Ciding that tbo General Term's opinion wa3 worthless at law because tho judges constituting tbo General Term had not consulted on the matter Judge McCue, one of the General Term judges, being in Europe. The company went back to the Supremo Court again, whore another judge, sitting In Gilberts place, refused the consent of the court Since then the company has one nothing further in the courts." Judge Shea tho company's counsel said that some of the ablest lawyers in the conntryahad looked into the Kings County Company's legal standing and were unanimous In declaring that it was perfect in all re epeota. Other disinterested lawyers, seen by a reporter of the Eaole this morning, declared that the special law nnder wnidh the Mayor and Commissioner of City Works reacting In declaring that the Rings Couuty Com pauy must make application to them for their consents before it can proceed with its work is not worth the paper it is written on.

They also produced the following stay law which they contended saved tho Kings County's charter from lapBiug with tho five years given it in which, to complete its road at the time of tho com pany's organization on August 8, 1878 Chapter 405. Au act relative to railroad corporations, passed Jnly 1, 188:2. Section 1. Any railroad company heretofore organized or incorporated under the laws of this State, except such as may have been organizod for the purposo of constructing or operating a railroad in tho City of How York, which may bo unable from any cause to construct its railroad witltiu tbo time specified in Its char I or or articles of association, or heretofore limited by law, shall have the time for the completion of tho railroad It was authorized to construet extended for a term of two years beyoud the time heretofore limited, and failure to expend tho per centum on the amount of jts capital, or to complete its road within the time heretofore limited, shall uot be deemed a cause of forfeiture of its corporate powers; but nothing herein contained ball have the effect to revive any corporation whose orrorate power shall have ceased prior to January 1, 1832. This act shall take effect immediately.

GENERAL RAPID TRANSIT NEWS. Latest movements of Local Elevated Railroad Companies. Vice President "William Eichardson and President J. R. Maxwell, of the Brooklyn aud Long Island Elevated Cable Railroad Company, conforrod yesterday upon tho letter received from tho Mayor inviting committees from tho rival rapid transit companies of Brooklyn to meot botoro him and discuss means of amicably agreeing as to those portions of the routes of each which are coincident.

In answer to a reporter Mr, Richardson said Oar committee will consist of the president, Mr. J. Maxwell, and Mr. Jones. I am of opinion that it will be found that the present companies can all be accommodated without any clashing.

There is no necessity to have anything eiao than a friendly settlement of the difficulties which, it is suggested, may arise on avenues and other streets leading to Fulton Fevry. Of tourse any company will sustain its rights, and fight if necessary," Secretary I. S. Rice, of tho Brooklyn EV vatert Railway, said there was no talk among tho dime tors of h3 company of fighting auyother company, tho matter was not being discussed at Of course the Brooklyn elevated had the first charter under a special act which gave it special privileges on tho street sot down in its routes. These privileges would be maintained, Mr.

Fred. L'hlnan, proMflcnt of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Com j.auy claims tho terms of his company's charter are such that the King County Kle Tated Railway Company will find Impossible to get down to "Fulton Ferry without infringing on rights given to the Brook iyn Elevated by special law. Mayor Low said, when asked about the conference of committees from the raxid transit that be could not etcte precisely when it would take place. It would meet in a few days, however, after each company bad had time to appoint iis coimimttc ai.d had conferred upon tho subject. He would not say whether or not ho considered it likely that all disputes could bo settled harmoniously, as ho had not the facts upon which to form au opinion.

The Nassau Cabte Railway Company will appear in full force this evening before the Railroad Committee of the Common Council. President Jieni returned to town to day for that purple. The company professes to be undismayed by tho stout opposition with "which it has been met all along tho lino of its numerous routes, notably on Montague and Schcrmerhorn streets, nd Lexington avenue. President Hazzard, of tho Brooklyn City Railroad, declares that ho has examined surfaco cablo railroads and they are no good. One of their faults, ho says, is that they frighten horses.

In to day's elections there aro no prominent, local or State issues calculated to call out an unusual voto. It Beems likely, ho wevor, that a pretty full vote will bo polled. The voto to day will bo compared with tha vote for Governor in 18S0.

That year the total vote was 70,601 Of this the Republican can. for Governor had 47,813, tho Democratic candidates 21,245, and there wero 1,578 Greenback votes and 13strapa." It is estimated that each party has a reserve or stay at home element of several lion sands, the aggregate being 25,000 votes. Tho candidates are as follows BEPDHLIOAN. DEMOCUAT.

Stone, of St Jobnsbury, for Governor, and Charles Waterhouse, of Rutland, for Lieutonant Governor.

A new feature of the present election will bo that tho Secretary of State and State Auditor will bo for the first time elected by tho people, instead of by tho General Assembly, as formerly. Two Members of tho Forty ninth Congress, members of tho Legislature and county officials will also be elected. Tho new Legislature will elect a successor to United States Senator Morrill. The last Legislature had 156 Republican majority on joint ballot. IN DOUBT.

TTSie Cause. of Charles JTaehn son's His Brother Declares that Ho was As saulted aad Robbed Dr. Shepard Says Death was Caused by Apoplexy. Dr. A.

W. Shepard this morning made 5 post mortem examination of the bodj of Ohttrloa ohn aon, of No. 256 Franklin avenue, tlio Swede who dropped dead on Sunday night attor being assaulted in. a liquor saloon in Sixty fifth street, near Third avenne. Tho Doctor stateB that lie could uot And any maris ol violence on tlio body of the dead man, but girea the opinion that death resulted from cerebral apoplexy induced by the excitemobt Incident to the stated quarrel.

If deceased received a blow upon tho head or noct, ifc would undoubtedly havo bean another of tho exciting causes in producing the rupture of the oerebral vessel, which caused tho apoplectic hemorrhage. An Eagle reporter saw Robert Johnston, tho brother of tho dead man, this morning. He is a Svredo and speaks English imperfectly. To tho reportor he said My brother and myself wore in a beer saloon on Sixty fifth street, near Third avenue, on Sunday night. Yfe wore drinking beer together when a big stout man wearing sea boots stepped on my brother's foot purposely.

That mado a growl. Some ono hit my brother and ho ran out of tho place. A man who was iu his Bhirt sleeves followed and hit my brother in the neck and he fell dowa. He got up aud ran a little ways, then ho fell down and diod. My brother was not drunk ho was not subject to fits.

He worked for ex Alderman Baird and was an InduBtrions man." "Whs anything stolon from your brother tho reporter asked. "After lie dieclsboufil; the change he received out of a $5 bill, aud a gold rlug also wsb stolen." The young man said tnat the body of his brother remained on the ground all uight and was not taken away until between 8 and 9 o'clock In the morning. Sivil Maudell, the couuty gamekeeper, aaid to the reporter "From inquiries that have made in the neighborhood where tho man died, I am satisfied that tho man was assaulted. I know of two boys who saw tho man running and saw him knocked down. I saw tbo body lying under a sceet on Monday morning It had laid there all night." Tho aBsault on Johnston is said to havo boen witnessed by sovoral persons, but iu view of the examination made by Dr.

Shephard, it is not bolicved that any effort will bo mado to secure the arrest of the dead man's asBallauts. Coroner Hesse who will hold the inquest impaneled the jury this afternoon at the undertakers, 500 Court street. After viewing the remains the Inquest was adjourned until Friday, in order that, if possible, witnesses of the tnurder might be found. THE HOWARD OOLOKED ORPHAN ASYLUM.

The formal opening of the new building rected by tho Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, on Doau street, near Troy avenue, took place yestorday afternoon, with appropriate exercises. Thero was a fair attendance of colored visitors. Tho platform was occupied by the superintendent, Rev. W.

Atteiiliey had tokon their soats in the school room where the exercises were held tho superintendent greeted them with a brief address of welcome, after which prayor was offered.

The children then sang "Clap your Hands for Joy" and "Precious Promise" in pleasing style, after which a solo "A Boy's Best Friend is his Jlother," was rondorod very creditably by Master John Deal. "Tho True Qreatnoss of Our Country," an oratorical recitation from Charles Sumner, was well given by Master John Woods. The exercises couclndod with tho singing of "Bringing in the Sheaves" by the children. This portion of the programme being finished tho remaining part, consisting of brief remarks appropriate to the occasion made by each of tho gentlemen above named followed, and ju.st a3 tho exercises was about to close, his Houor the Mayor, who had been expected, m3do hi3 appearance and after a cordial greeting accepted a seat on the front of tho platform. A part of tho singing and recitation exercises wore rehearsed again for tho pleasure of his Honor, after which, upon introduction, he arose to inako an address.

His remarks wero brief and mostly of a colloquial aud didactic. character, sensibly adapted to tho comprehension of tlio youug mlnd i to Yhom he particularly addressed himself. Having beo i iuci oiucedIn the character of Chief Magistrate oi the city ho endeavored to give them some intelligent conception of tho meaning of such a "bl word" by drawing an analogy between it and tho national, Stato aud municipal flags a3 representative emblems, and which thoy might have seen at eouie time floating over the City Hall, Ho also explained to them the signification of the Btara and slripos iu tho national emblem and to impress theni with tho worth of small things in relation to accumulated value and power, he illustrated tho weakness of the individual fibers of which the strong silken cord is mai3 up aud tho comparative valuolessnoss of bunting takon iu itself to when it is cut up and convortod into flags.

A LIVELY BIRTHDAY PARTY. Landlord Wnckerman Pays 35 for His Part ol the Exercises. Mr. John Pressor, of No. 340 Maujer Btreet, a few days ago issued invitations to a number of his friends to "assist" at his birthday celebration.

A large number were expected, and ample preparations wore made for a hospitable reception. Edibles and potables of all kind3 usual to Gorman festivities was provided. At last tho inevitable keg of lager arrived. To the admission of tbo keg, however, Mr. Henry the landlord, objected, apparently for fear that an explosion would ensue.

Mr. Pressor, maintained his right to bring in anything which he and his friends might need. ThiB led to a row, during which Waekerman, it is alleged, assaulted Mrs Barbara Presser and two of her guests, Christian Fritz and his wife Antouia, of No, 342 Maujer street. Waekerman was arrested of torward by Court Officer Miller, of Justico Naoher's court, on throe arrests, each of the assaulted parties being a complainant. This morning Waekerman was produced before Justico Naeher and fined $20 for striking Mrs.

Oinoinnati, Sopteinbor 2, A Commertnal OazMe special received lalo last owning Bays: "Everything is quiet in tho Hocking Valley to night, 80 far lestuod." A Lawyer Who is Young and Good Looking. The Sensational Story "ffhlca Agnes Clunan Told to Commissioner Kissatn this Horn luff A Charge Which Benjamin A. Morr risou Will he Called Upon to Answer.

A rather sensational story was told to Commissioner Eissam, at the Central office of tho Charities Department, in Fulton street, this morning. It came from the lips of a handsomely dressed girl of 21, who described herself as Agne9 Clunan, and who resides at 116 Bond, street. Agues has a pole face, but there is nothing insipid about it. Her eyes are dark, tier teeth perfect, her features regular aud her manner moro than usually animated. A lawyer named Morrison, who has an office lu the Garfield Building, and who ia as good looking a young man as over argued a case, Bat opposite Miss Clunan and smiled superciliously at everything she said.

The lady darted ocular daggers in hia direction and continued her narration with a spirit and emphasis not lost on the Commissioner. Morrison daintily caressed a flowing bloudo mustache, and exchanged whispered confidences with a forensic friend until the girl's story bad beon properly elaborated, when ho was given an opportunity to make a counter statement. There was much in what Miss Clunan said which precludes reproduction. She is the mother of a child now iu the nursery at Flatbusb, and sho gives Mr. Morrison credit for something more than the betrayal.

Acoording to her claims she has to thank him. for becoming the inmate of a house, with, tho true character of which she was ignorant, and a Gowauus physician is brought to tho surface in a role quite likely to affect his reputation. Mr. Morrison's answor was limited to an attack upon MIbs Clunan's character. He asked for delay untll his counsel, Mr.

W. H. Kernels, could be heard from. The Commissioner submitted that the complainant was without resources, whereupon Mr. Morrison rathor contemptuously Inquired whether bo was expected to pay the lady's debts.

Mr. Eissam said that tbe Commissioners had no discretion in such cases. Their duty was to bring them before a magistrate and not to inquire into their merit. Ho had treated Mr. Morrison leniently in not causing his ar rost.

What could be gained by delay he could not understand, so long as Mr. Morrison proposed, if possible, to evade the responsibility of parentage. Tho lawyer's auswer to this proposition was that ho might possibly be influenced by a desire to ovoid publicity, tho inference being that if ho concluded to yield to whatever demands tho oounty made upon him ho wonld.do bo, not bacauBQ ho recognized their justice, but because a publication of the facts would do him serious injury, It will be impossible," he continued, to invest me with any responsibility if the ease is carried into court. I can givo you tbe names of a dozen individuals against whom similar proceedings could with aa much propriety bo instituted. They should be given ob much interest in this case as I have.

I can prove that this girl wrote a letter to a man whom Bhe oharged with the paternity of the child." Yes," broke in Miss Clunan, and I wrote It at yonr dictation." "I have a liBt," interrupted Morrison, "which I received from Counselor Smith, and which contains any number of names. The list was made up from the girl's admissions to Mr. Smith." "Was ho acting as her counsel 7" asked the Commissioner. "YeB," responded Mr. Morrison.

"Did he thiuk there was any professional fidelity in divulging these namc3 "Well, I got a copy of tho list," said air. Morrison. The Commissioner finally concluded to defer further action until to morrow, aud tho lawyer and ills friend retired with a proper acknowledgment of the favor. Miss Clurasn declared that whatever irregularities she might have been guilty of were the direct result of her treatment at Morrison's hands, protesting that until she became acquainted with him her oonduot had been abovo reproach, DEMOCRATS. The General Committee Beginning Active Work.

Mr. Patrick Burns Says He Cannot Snp port Cleveland Three Resignations OfferedSenator Bayard to Address a Mass Meeting Campaign Headquarters Opened To day A Now Wigwam. The regular monthly meeting of the Kings County Democratic General Committee was held last evening at Music Hall. The period for tho payment of yearly dues expired last night, and consequently a number of members who were in arrears put in an appearance aud saved themselves from expulsion by haudlng in their dues. Among those present at the meeting were Justices Walsh and Courtney, ex Super vlsor at Largo Guthrie, D.

A. Hulett, G. T. Bergen, James Langan, Thomas Fearsall, ex Senator Murtha, Alderman Mccarty, Alderman Kane aud Aldoruian Olona. There wero about three hundred members of the committeo present.

Chairman Augustus Van. Wyck called the committeo to order, and aftor the reading of the minutes ex Senator Murtha, ou behalf of the Campaign Committee, said Campaign headquartors will bo open on and alter tomorrow until election day closer. Wo are making arrangements for tlie holding of a grand mass meeting on tho 15th of this month. A letter of acceptance from Senator Bayard has been received, aud ho will be one of tile speakers at the mass meeting, Applause. The committee also expects to secure the services of the Hon.

Daniel F. Dougherty, of Philadelphia. Applause. The campaign headqnarters will be at Jefferson Hall, on the corner of Adams aud Willouguby stroetB. The committee has also secured rooms on tho coiner of Fulton street and Myrtle avenue, whore tlie members will meet ollieers of the various ward associations and advise with them on matters pertaining to tho campaign.

Justice CourtDoy moved that the names of all members of the Twentieth Ward delegation who had failed to attend tho meetings of tho committeo.be dropped from th3 roll of membership. I noilce," paid tlie Justico, one member has been zmiking his brags that he is going to vote against Cleveland. It soems that he has a personal grievance, tho Governor uegloctod to answer a letter of his or something of that sort. Now if this member propuso3 to do as ho says, I say let us drop him and make room for a better mati." Justico Courtney Is understood to have referred to Colonel Davia T. Lynch, of the Hancock Legion.

Tie Chair said that it would bo necessary to give the members who had absented themselves from meetings notite, so that thoy might present if they had any to make. Mr. Courtney Then 1 move, Mr. Chairman, that the name of Michael Malone be dropped bo has moved out of the ward. Tho Chairman As I understand it, removal from a ward terminates a membor's couneclion with the com.

mittee. In regard to tho geutleman's first motion, the constitution provides that any member who has boon absent from three consecutive meetings of the committee, without excusing himself after being notified, vacates his scat. It was decided to notify the members of the committee from tho Twentieth Ward who havo neglected to attend the mootings of the committee that they aro liable to expulsion. D. A.

Hulett, of tho Sixth Ward, offered the following amoudment to the constitution, which is similar to tho ono which was offered lust year and voted down llcs'olred. That section 1 of article of the constitution be amended eo as to read as tollowB Section 1. AU conventions shall be called by tho General Committee, which cull Bhall designate tho time and place for tho meeting of tho convention called and the number of delegates to bo elected from such ward or town, and such ward or town represented in any convention Bhall be entitled to one delegate for each votes and one for each fractional part thereof exceeding ISO, in such ward or town for the regular Democratic candidate for Governor at tho election for Governor last preceding the time fixed for choosing such delegates." A voice I move to lay that on the table. The Chair Under the rules the proposed amendment goes over for consideration at the next meeting of tho committee. Justice Courtney I move that each member of the committee be notified of tho proposed amendment.

Carried. Secretary William A. Furoy announced that he had received letters of resignation from Patrick Burns and James B. Ferguson, of the Filth Ward, and Peter F. Delanoy, of the Nineteenth Ward.

Tho resignations were accepted by a unanimous vote, and no one called for a reading of tho letters, Mr. Burns' letter reads os oIIowb BnooKLvs, Septomberl, 1884. ifr. Augustus Van Wyck: Deak Sir I most respectfully tendor my resignation as a member of tho Democratic General Committee of Kings Couuty, of which you are President, for tho reason that I cannot support Grover Cloveland for any position in tho gift of tlio people. His recommendations and vetoes since his inauguration as Governor of thi3 State have not met with tho approval of tho work iug.class, of which I claim to be a member.

My opposition to Governor Cleveland, on the floor of the Assembly during the legislative session of 1883 4, leaves me no other course to pursue. I cannot Btultifymy actions as a representative by supporting liini for the Presidency now. I regret that circumstances have forced me to tako the position 'that I now assume, after advocating and voting tbe Democratio Stato and National tickets for a period of thirty two years. Patmok Bursb. Mr.

Burns is said to have purchased a farm in Connecticut and removed from the Fifth Ward. Tho chaitmau said that the committeo should prepare llsta of polling places and registers of election this week that the United States Supervisors should also be selected and their names handed in to tho Campaign Committee. The Committeo on the Revision of the Twenty first Ward roll book roported that eighty nine names had been dropped, owing mainly to removals from tho ward, Tho names on the roll book now number 833. Ab an evidence of the enthusiasm for Cleveland existing in the Twenty first Ward, Secretary William Mc. Guire handed au Eagle reporter the annexed letter from tho owner of a single horse nnd cart Brooklyn, August 29, 1884.

Dear Sra Please use the enclosed $25 in behalf of the Democratic nominees, Cleveland and Hendricks, for President aud Vice President also, aunouuee to the Twenty first Ward Democratio Association for mo it would afford mo pleasure to increase my donation if I could.

The Young Men's Republican Club Orpran izins? for tho Campaign Speculation About the September Elections in Vermont and Maine Democratic Headquarters Opened William Fowler and Tommy Sheridan as Toiitical Partners. The newest thing in local politics, if not tho most Interesting, is the formation of an Eastern District Club. It has neither a local habitation nor a name yet but from what can be gathered about it and Us objects, it is likely to bo rather more political than social in iu nature," and ia entirely sectional in Its intentions. Tho writer's informant said that the desire was to lot in none but Habtern District wards, which comprise the Thirteenth to tho Nineteenth, inclusive, but that Borne aro in favor of taking in tho neighboring Twenty first and Twenty third Wards.

There are to be five members from each ward, making forty five in aU, and from the names of those who are already mentioned as members tho character of the organization may be inferred. Among them are "William H. Ieay craft and Charles Small, of tho Thirteenth Samuel Maddox, ct the Fourteenth; William Allison, of the Fifteenth; Justice Naeher and Louis Nicot, of the Sixteenth; Justice Itblnehart and Jame3 Jensen, of the Seventeenth David Lindsay, of the Eighteenth, and Andrew D. Baird, of the Nineteenth. It is intended to make it strictly Republican, and ft permanent association, and tho initiation fee has been fixed at $25.

A preliminary meeting was held recently and another, at organization will bo effected or attempted, will be held some night this week. Neither the Thirteenth nor Fifteenth Ward was represented at the lirst meeting, but probably will be at tho next. What is the purposo of this organization 1 naked the reporter of his informant. Well," said he, they speak of it a3 purely social, bnt I guesB ita like the celebrated Casey's Social, a mixture of fun and fight, with rather more fight than fun in the end. As I understand it, the intention Is to show a solid front for the Eastern District whenever it comes to nominations of party candidates.

Yes, it's more likely to look out for its fellow members than it Ib for the Eastern District as a section of the city. When any onetf them wants anything, the understanding is that the whole concern Is to back him. The members whose names you havo aro to some extent in control in their several localities, and are expected to send delegates to conventions who will stand by them. Tho other men to" be taken ia aro of similar character in politics. No doubt it will bo oxpected that they will all stand by Leaycraft in his demand for the Shrievalty nomination.

This ia one of the things which, probably, are at the bottom of this movement but it will fail in this case if attempted, because thero are men among the list you have who are already pledged to Tanner, and they are men who will not break their word but, aside from that, tho main priuciplo of tho organizatiou will be in union there is strength, and as it will bo in effect a combination of ward bosses, it is hoped that it will have a great influence on the party doings, and especially in the matter or nominations. If that be its object, however, it will not be a for the members of it will dis agreo among themsrlves, and the power that made them at tho primaries will swiftly unmake them and put an end to their exclusive representation of their districts." The other new organization known as tho Young Men's Republican Club has opened its headquarters at 307 Fulton street, and promises to begin active operations very soon. The Executivo Cominilteo will meot to night, and among other business will arrange for tho first mass meeting in one of the largo public halls of tbo city, to be hold within a week or two. Of course, it will be open to all; but the expectation ia that the younger element will predominate In tho audience. Tho Executivo Committee will probably orgauizo itself to night, and if accepted as the permanent committee, will probably take upou the prosecution of tho campaign for tho club.

The following are among the members choson: R. B. Sedgowick, First Ward Fred. well, Third; John J. Euright, Fourth; H.

13. Davenport, Seventh; John J. Barrett, Eighth; C. E. Forri man, Tenth; Henry Nielitz, Twelfth; W.

P. Rhodes, Seventeenth W. E. Smith, Nineteenth D. Warmsloy, Twentieth; J.

K. Skinner, Tweuty thtrd; J. M. Bacon, Twenty fifth, and Gustave A. John, Flatbusb.

There is more or less speculation among politicians about the result of to day's election in Vermont, and next Monday's eloction in Maine. Vermont is so largely Republican that no doubt is expressed of a victory for that party there, but members of it aro a little auxious to see former triumpbs outdone. The voto of the State in 1880 was over 65,000. of which Garfield received 45,367, and Hancock 18,316, and Weaver, Greenback, 1,215. This was a larger total voto than was cast at tho September eloction and it is thought that to day's will be smaller than tho vote there two months hence.

But, fat more interest is shown in tba election in Malno next Monday, because it is Blaine's own State, and great eCforts aro said to have been put forth by tho party as well as by Blaine personally to carry it iu tim September election. In 1880 tho September election wa3 carried by the Democrats, or Fusionists, as they wero called, being a combination of anti Republican voters of all sorts. Plaistcd, the Fusionist, was elected Governor by 73,786 votes to 73,507 for Davis, tho Republican candidate. This result was reversed by over 9,000 votes in tho Presidential election following Garfield receiving 74,039 to Hancock's 65,171 (though It Is proper to uoto hero that tho votes caBt for tho Prohibition, Greenback and other candidates, a comparatively small amount, are included in these figures.) It is thought that the November contest this year will bo foreshadowed by next Monday's election for tbo reason above given, aud most politicians say that tho issuo will be almost strictly between Blaiue and Cleveland, as it is not oxpected that Butler's managors can afford the expense of making much of a fight iu Maine. Maine has all tho prohibition she wants without wasting any votes on tho good St.

John. The October States are Georgiaj Iowa, Ohio and West Virginia, and there is some talk about them. Iowa, however, ia Presidential years holds her State election in Novombor, aud will, of course, this year. In 1080 she went largely Republican, Georgia mora largely Democratic Ohio had a large Republican majority, while West Virginia went the other way, the voto being 4.0,000 Republican to 57,000 Democratic. The Executivo and Advisory Committees of the Young Republican Club will hold a meeting this week to settle on the date of tho public meeting of the club to discuss tho Presidential question, in accordance with the wisli of the majority, as evinced in tho responses to Piosident Niehol's circular.

It is Baid that tho club meeting will be held as near tho 15th instant as possible, so a3 to insure the oitcudauco of those who aro Btill out of town, but will return by that time. The German Republicans of the Seventeenth Ward, who recently formed themselves into a Cleveland and Hendricks Club, will meet to morrow night at No. 20G Franklin Btreet, Groonpoint, to enroll the forty three new members who dssiro to 'join, aud to listen to addresses by Messrs, Edward Fietz and William Elbert. Mr. H.

B. Seharmauu is also expected to speak. A member of the club says that thoy are all Republicans but ono, and will voto for their party candidates on the Presidential ticket. They will uumoer, when the forty three havo been enrolled, ono hundred and seventeen. Zocal Io'iii.

The Local Democratic Campaign Committee opened its headquarters in Jefferson Hall, corner of Adams and Willoughby streets, this morning. Members of the committee will bo in attend nice at the rooin3 daily, Sundays excepted, of course, until the campaign closes. To night the committeo will meet the presidents of tho various w'ard and campaign clubs at headquarters, for tho purposo of discussing plans for the conduct of tho campaign. There was some taik among members of the Demo era tic General Committee this morning about tbo proposition of D. A.

llulett, of the Sixth Ward, to chaugo tbo basis of representations of wards in local couvou, lions. Under existing rules the wards are all placed on the same footing. 11 1 don't think it 13 fair to givo a strong Republican ward as many delegates as should bo chosen from, for instance, a ward like tho Sixth. A Democratic ward is entitled to more delegates than a Republican ward, still I am not sure that my amendment will bo adopted," said Mr. Hulett.

"The proposition W03 voted down last year and may be again." uIt may aud it may not," said Alderman Kane, significantly. The resignation of Assemblyman Patrick Burns did not create a sensation among the politicians; the members of the Campaign Commit too aro of the opinion that Mr. Burn's disaffection will not injure Governor Clevelands' candidacy in the Fifth Ward. Tho Assemblyman has bought a farm in Connecticut and it is expected that he will devote more attention to agriculture than to politics. Mr.

William A. Fowior has not let loose in Brooklyn tho Butler boom as yet, but is making preparations lav the event. He has received a few Democratic mal couteuts in his parlors at tho Fifth Avenue Hotol, with a Mew to organizing Butler's Brooklyn followers. Mr. Fowior is understood to have had 'the benefit of Tommy Sheridan's profound wisdom, aud tho two are to boom Bailor in Kings County.

It is promised that a Butler headquarters will bo opened in this city during the present week, Tho impression that the Republican National Committeo has put a few thousand dollars in tho bauds of Butler's lieutenants ha3 bean strengthened by tho exhibition of a largo roll of greenbacks in the hand of Mr. Sheridan. There won't be much material for either the Blaine or Butler men to work on in the Second Ward, unless tbey get to work soon," said Mr. John Fan ell, the Democratic warhorae of tho Second. "There is a Blaino and Logan club in our ward that bad tbe names of niuety threa Democrats on its roll book two woeka Seventy of tho members have withdrawn, and the club can only muster twonty threo men now.

I think bo fore the mouth is over tbo club won't have a dozen Democrats as members." Tho various caudhlatoa for Sheriff and City Judge wero cheered by the announcement made this morning to the effect that ex Register McLaughlin would return to Brooklyn on Saturday. Judging from tho number of delegations waiting for Mr. McLaughlin's return he will have to pass through trying ordeal. THE FBAXCO CHINESE WAR.

A lotter from tho interior of tho Stnto of New York has the following: 11 1 have been a Republican all my lifetime) aud havo always supported the nominees of the Republican party but this time, I am sorry to say, I cannot support James O. Blaine, the nomineo of tho Republican party, whom I believe to bo dishonest and unfit for the Presidency." The Democratic Stato Commutes mail iucludod the following this morning From a town in Herkimer County: "I am happy to says that Cleveland and Hendricks tako tho load In this Beclion, and many of our best known Republicans aro for him." Schoharie County ia is equally onthnsiastie, aud a correspondent there said: "Those we thought donbtful are now firm for Cleveland. We will equal or surpass Tildon's majority." From Cleveland's own County of Erio a prominent man writes This town Is in belter condition for the success of Cleveland than over before. Wo havo a campaign club of over three hundred voters, of which an Independent Republican is President. Oswego is a strongly Republican county.

but a correspondent thero writes that the 170 majority usually given to the Republican nominee will be wipod out this year. From Broome and Chenango counties como reports of hngo Republican disaffection and an unprecedented St. John boom, that the writers say will surely affect the Republicans. From the latter county the intelligence comes that Hon. Chester W.

Rockwell, a life long Republican, has declared or Cleveland. At the Republican National Headquarters thi a morn ing it was delicately Muted that Now York might ox pect a visit from Mr. Blaino after tho Maine election, and tho writer was assured that tho Republican standard bearer would arrive on the 10th inst. A number of business men who havo lu othor years been very liberal in their contributions to the campaign fund aro not altogether satisfied with Blaine's nomination, and want assurances from him that he will not carry his aggressive policy too far in tho residential chair. Mr.

Evarts is said to be engineering tho movement looking to a reconciliation between Mr. Blaino and the business interests, and his complex oratory, it is claimed by the Republicans, has won very many bankers and other solid men over. Tho New York statesman is said to be preparing an elaborate Bpeech to provo that tho election of a Democrat to the Presidency would nullify the war legislation of the Republicans and practically put tho country back twenty years. He lays greatest stress on tho probability of vacancies occurring on the Supremo Court Bench, which would be filled by Sontheru Democrats, or their, sympathisers. A placard in tho Republican Headquarters announces that the blacksmiths of Pesth, In Austria, have struck for higher wages, and continues with the revelation that their wages was twelve cents a day.

It then contrasts the wages of tho American workingmeu with these figures, and rallies tho boys to tho support of Blaine, This particular campaign document has beon in existence since the Tildon campaign, aud many say that it was used with good effect in the niotuorablo contest between the Hunkers and Barnburners in 1814. Tho Vermont election is exciting some interest, aud it is said that candldato Redington, who has been nominated by tho Democracy, will poll almost 30,000 votas. The entire votiug strength of tho commonwealth is about 70,005, ana a full voto is always brought out 'at tho September election in Presidential years. Tho Democrats have spent no money aud made no effort to boom their candidates but tho nominee for Governor is popular and will poll a largo vote. Senator Edmunds is apathetic and the Independent sontimeut is strong, though not orgauized.

Tho Democratic National Committee, of course, does not claim a prospective victory to day, but Committeeman Smalloy, no mean political prophet, thinks that a substantial reduction will bo made iu tho Republican voto. Returns from Vermont can hardly ho looked for bsforo ten or eleven o'clocji this evening, aud it is said that the Republicans having control of tho election machinery will use it to magnify tho majority for tho sako of its moral effect ou the Maine election ou Monday next.

Ho told tho reporter that an aggressive campaign was in contemplation, aud continued Onr headquarters wore thronged yesterday by representative men from all parts of the conntry and especially from Now York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The prospect of General Butler receiving a largo voto is aurprising, lu Connecticut more especially. Many prominent Democrats called with reference to tho formation of Butler clubs in Brooklyn and New York. Early next week we will establish a pormanent headquarters and on the 15th of September tho entire Btato committee will be organized. General Butler will speak four or five times in Brooklyn in tho course of his canvass.

FIENDISH. An Elderly Man Charged With Unnatural Cruelty. Accused of Sticking Pins into a Child and of Burning its Flesli with Matches A Pica of Not Guilty. Thomas Harrington, an elderly mnn, neatly dressed, with an elegant gray mustache and a bald head, was brought bofore Justico Massey this morning upon a charge of maliciously and wickedly torturing tho adopted son of Mra. Mary Jane Dovino, of No.

332 DeKalb avenue. Tho child is about two years of age, very pretty, with light hiuo eyes, curly hair, and is exceedingly attrac" tivo. It was alleged that often during tho past mouth whon the little ono was at play upon the sidewalk, Mr Harrington would talk to him pleasantly, and then, Bitting upon his own door Btop, would induce him to sit upon his kneo. Then, just to hear tho little one cry, he would deliberately take a pin and stick it into the child's flesh. Tho little one would break loose from his torinenler and run into the house crying with pain.

The complainant had remonstrated with the accused, but it was in qaiu. Ou Saturday last, tho torturing of the child was bo barbarous, as alleged, that the foster mother could not stand it longer, and sho applied for a warrant to Justice Massey for the arrest of Harrington. She alleged that on Saturday ho caught tho littlo fellow np in his arms, deliberately lighted a match, and held the Same against (ho side of (he boy's faco, burning it very severely. Why ho did it was a mystery to tho complainant, who never had any trouble with him. Tho child which was asleep while in court, bore the evidence upon one of its cheeks of having been in contact with heat as it was highly inflamed and vory sore.

Tha accused, who did not bear the appearanco of a mallcions man, pleaded not guilty and requested an adjournment to procure counsel and witness. Hi3 request was granted. TnE SUSSEX FERRY BRIDGE.

One of Brooklyn's Oldest and Best Known Citizens, Charles Storrs, tho Wealthy, Refined and Charitable Gentleman SkoteU of a Bnsy and Useful Life.

In tlie death of Charles Storrs, which occurred at his late residence, No. 23 Monroe place, yesterday afternoon, Brooklyn loses one of her most notable and valued citizens. Less than a year ago he suffered a paralytic Bbocli, from tho effect of which he never recovered, and failed steadily from that time down. Mr. Storrs was a descendant, in direct line, from Philip de Storrs, who accompanied William tko Conquerer to England in 1CCG aud settled near Lake Windermere, lu Lancaster, where a promontory aud mansion still bear the family name.

The American branch of the Storrs family sprang from Samuel Storrs, who emigrated to this country from Sutton, Nottinghamshire, in 1003, and Eettlotl at Barnstable, removing a littlo later to Mansfield, where he died in 1710. Since tbut time tho Storrs family has baen prominent in all that pertains to Mansfield, and there Charles Storrs was born January 24, 1822. His father, Royal Storre, was a farmer, end young Storrs toiled on tho paternal acres until six months before attaining Ids majority. He then! hired a sub3tituto to filL out tbo working time due bis father, and with no capital but his own capabilities, started out in the world for hiinfifllf. Tho silk industry was just springing up in this oouutry, and Mansfield was the center of tho then feeble trade.

Young Storrs found ready placo as commission salesman In selling the Mansfield goods in New York and Boston markets. Ho prospered lu the wort and a year and a half later, in 1844 married Misa Margaret M. Cook, who survives him. In 1845 be removed to llartford, whoro he resided until 1850, when he removed to Brooklyn, settling in Duffleld Btreot, His firm had then established a branoh house in Now York, and this was placed in his charge. In 1863 ho became a member of tho firm, which failed in the year following, with liabilities aggregating $300,000.

Mr. Storrs assumed the liabilities and paid them all. Soon after the failure he was joined by his brothers Augustus aud Royal O. Storrs in founding the commission house of which he was the head until retiring from business in 1879. Augustus Storrs dropped out of the firm after a short interval, and tho two others carried on the great business soon attracted.

All bis life from tho time of his escape from the hay fields of Connecticut, Mr. Storrs devoted his lelsuro time to tho collection of a library and a gallery of paintings and engravings not excelled In Brooklyn. When he left his Duffield street house iu 1SG7 to reside In tho Monroe place residence, the little house was packed from cellar to attic with rate books and paintings, whoso value far exceeded the walls containing them. His new home gavo ample place for them and many besldoi gathored in Hie years following. In his journeyiogs about the world ho was in tho habit of picking up all kinds of artistic work, from an oil painting to a quaintly wrought piece of an tiquo jewelry.

Ho wa's not confiued In his task to any particular school in the selection of his pictures, and the walls of bis residence wero bung with works of famous artists of a great variety of schools and many countries. One of tho pictures in bis collection which bo especially valued was a largo canvass by tho American artist Louis C. Tiffany, representing an Oriental scone. He was alBO an admirer of tbo marine painter, M. V.

H. Do Haas, aud owned a number of that artist's earlier works. His collection contained sovornl strong cabinet genre pictures of tho Dutch, Frcuch and Roman schools picked up by Mr. Storrs during his travels on the continent. The pictures brought together by Mr.

Storra wero iutoroitiiig, from their artistic valuo, from the fact that thoy represented the judgment of their owner, aud wero not purchased to order by speculative dealers a method of collecting too often followed in tho bringing together of a private gallery of paintings. Mr. Storrs was especially fond of rare gems, curious Oriental ornaments and old jewelry of all kinds, and in his cabinets could be found Roman, Greek, Etruscan, Egyptian and Oriental specimens of the jeweler's art. His collection of ancient finger rings alono would make an invaluable addition to a public museum. Ilis cabiucts also contained rare examples of Chinese and Japauese art, including boantiful carv iugB in ivory, unique pieces of pottery and other brie a brae.

He always welcomed visitors wishing to inspect his treasures, and took great pleasure in explaining tho history of a painting or jewel if ho found an intelligent listener. In 1867 Mr. StoiT3 enjoyed a prolonged tour In Europe, in company with a party of friends, including Miss Edna Dean Proctor, tho well known authoress, whose brother David was wedded to Mi. Storrs' daughter, his only child. Returning Uo accompanied the late Horace Greeley on his memorable trip to Texas.

Indeed be was through all his business life a staunch and intimate friend of Mr. Greeley, and after the doath of the latter was executor of his estate, performing tho difficult task of straightening out the great editor's tanghaffairs with consummate business tkiU. With all his well earned wealth Mr. Storrs was exceedingly liberal. No Brooklyn charity ever passed his door with empty hands.

His interest in his native town never abated. A few years ago ho and bis brother Augustus endowed the Storw Agricultural School at Mansfield, later he gavs the town laud for a cemetery aud enough money to intsuro its improvement aud maintenance. He took much interest in the family pedigree and, previous to retiring, compiled a complete gonealogical table of Samuel Storrs' descendants. Since retiring he spent most of bis time when able In tho compilation of a historical volume treating of the family, its origin and genealogy. It was almost finisned at his death.

In politics Mr. Stows was a Republican, but on an independent stripe. Ho attended the church of which his cousin, the Rov. Dr. Storrs, is pastor, but held liberal viovva on all religloua topics and mado a study of progressive ideas.

Since 1879 Mr. Storrs has lived very quietly. His daughter, Mrs. Proctor, and her three childreu have resided with him Biuco the death of her husband in 1S30. The funeral will bo held at his late residence at 4 P.

M. to morrow. The remains aro to bo interred at Mansfield. THE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS. Governor Waller Renominated by Ac claniufioii H.uiTFonn, September 2.
